Hi,

I think you should visit a hospital ER and get an x-ray of the affected part. Even if there is no fracture, you should have plaster cast for 3-6 weeks along with paracetamol and multivitamins.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirmal Chander Gupta,
